Assertion: Gene gum method is a direct gene transfer method. Reason :In this method foregin gene directly introduce in target cell without involving vector DNA

......is the transfer of normal genes into body cells to correct a genetic defect:

Assertion :- Inhibition of transcription is the only method of regulation of gene expression in all organisms. Reason : Transcription is the first step of gene expression.

Assertion : Proto-oncogenes are cellular genes required for normal growth. Reason : Under normal conditions they could lead to the oncogenic transformation of the cell.

Assertion: Genetic engineering is essentially the alteration of the genetic make up of cells by deliberate and artificial means. Reason: It involves transfer or replacement of genes to create recombinant DNA.

Gene therapy is an attempt to correct a genetic defect by providing a normal gene into the individual. By this the normal function can be restored. An alternate method would be to provide the gene product (protein/enzyme) known as replacement thereapy. which would also restore the function.which in your opinion is a better option? Give reason for your answer.
